This artwork by Thomas Stothard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2004. In the British and Victorian Paintings auction, the work Passage of the Duoro, Oporto liberated, 1809, a design for an outer compartment of the Wellington Shield sold for GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,689.41) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00.
